Filter by:Aims - To identify patients that should remain admitted in hospital for more intense surveillance because of high risk for development of clinical complications - Expand the understanding of the interactions between physiology and immunology for the design of future projects and general knowledge Hypothesis Development of a risk model based on a combination of physiological and immunological parameters can contribute to early detection of patients at risk for clinical complications after anti-cancer treatment.
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (alloHSCT) represents the only curative option for many patients diagnosed with various hematologic neoplasms. Procedure-related morbidity and mortality pose challenges to long-term outcomes and quality of life, especially among patients who develop chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). There is a gap in healthcare that comprehensively addresses the specific needs of these patients. Physical therapy as an adjuvant treatment, through therapeutic exercise involving muscle strength and cardiorespiratory endurance, has shown positive influences on health markers and serves as a strong medical ally in similar profiles. Although these strategies could be reproducible and potentially beneficial for cGVHD patients, research has been limited to date, with the role of physical therapy possibly underutilized in this field. Justification: Unaddressed medical gap with no rigorously scientific responses specific to cGVHD. Objectives: This project aims to conduct the first randomized clinical trial from a physical therapy perspective as an adjuvant treatment for patients undergoing alloHSCT diagnosed with cGVHD.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of laser photobiomodulation in adult hematologic cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Is photobiomodulation with laser in the oral cavity, compared to standard care, effective in preventing oral mucositis and functional impairments in adult patients receiving HSCT? • What is the level of patient´s acceptability of photobiomodulation with laser in the oral cavity during HSCT? Participants once a day will receive photobiomodulation (diode laser device) in their oral cavity from the first day of transplantation conditioning until third day post-transplant. Researchers will compare with usual care to see if photobiomodulation helps preventing oral mucositis and functional impairment.
Objective : To study and support the hospitalization and the return home of patients with the help of a psychological follow-up started in a hospital institution and which will continue in the patient's home, based on the concepts of transitionality and narrativity. Material and method To do this, the subjects will benefit from psychological interviews where they will freely discuss what concerns them, whether it is illness, treatment, returning home, or any other personal subject. They will be divided into two groups of 5 patients each, one of the groups will benefit from follow-up in an institution as contracted for several years between the Institute of Hematology and the psychologists of the UMDSP, another from the same follow-up but with the presence of the psychologist at the time of discharge extended to the patient's home after leaving the hospital for a period of 2 months. To ensure a certain consistency in the evaluation criteria, these will be standardized in the form of questionnaires completed blindly by the patient, a caregiver and the investigator, at 3 key times of the research (entry, discharge from hospital, two months after this discharge) Device tested: The aim of this work is to test the benefits of a device based on transitionality, which can limit, thanks to the restoration of the symbolization process, the deleterious effects of each of the stages imposed by the disease, the care and the resumption of autonomy once the active phase of care has passed. Narrativity is also at the heart of this transitional device. It makes it possible to evoke the present experience of the patient in connection with future projects and in the continuity of past, potentially traumatic events. It opens onto a dynamic temporal perspective where the trauma freezes. The whole process promotes the subjective reappropriation of the experience and a psychic well-being.
Hypnosis is a technique allowing the patient to focus his mental attention on a thought or a sensation, with the aim of reducing or modulating the intensity of a negative feeling or an ordeal encountered during the course of treatment. This tool can be used when patients are faced with chronic disorders (pain, anxiety, ...) or iatrogenic effects (nausea, asthenia, ...). The patient is referred to hypnosis care by the doctor, psychologist or paramedics who follow him, when they detect a need. Several scientific studies have shown the effectiveness of hypnosis in improving the quality of life of patients with breast cancer and in reducing pain during invasive procedures. On the other hand, in hematology, no research has measured the evolution of anxiety, over time, in patients receiving hypnotherapy.
An interventional, non-randomised study to assess the risk of progression after discontinuation of maintenance therapy in sustained MRD negative complete remission by flow cytometry MM patients without high-risk features who have completed at least two years of maintenance therapy or who have discontinued maintenance due to side effects. The primary endpoint is to assess the rates of sustained MRD negativity by NGF in the bone marrow at 12 months after discontinuation of maintenance therapy.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer that arises from the transformation of normal B and T lymphocytes (white blood cells). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-101 in adult participants in relapsed or refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin's lymphomas: third line or later of treatment (3L) + chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-germinal center B cell (GCB) DLBCL, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), or transformed indolent NHL. Adverse events will be assessed. ABBV-101 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of NHL. This study will include a dose escalation phase to determine the maximum administered dose (MAD)/Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABBV-101 and a dose expansion phase to determine the change in disease activity in participants with CLL or non-GCB DLBCL. Approximately 128 adult participants with multiple NHL subtypes will be enrolled in the study in sites world wide. In the Dose Escalation phase of the study participants will receive escalating oral doses of ABBV-101, until the MAD/MTD is determined, as part of the approximately 60 month study duration. In the dose expansion phase of the study participants receive oral ABBV-101, as part of the approximately 60 month study duration . There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for fatigue intervention is acceptable, feasible, and effective at managing fatigue and improving quality of life for patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).
This study seeks to determine if patients undergoing a bone marrow biopsy/aspiration (BMBA) procedure who receive distraction techniques have lower levels of distress and pain, and higher post-procedure satisfaction, compared to those receiving standard-of-care. Intervention 1 is guided meditation in a virtual reality (VR) headset. Intervention 2 is comprised of environmental changes to the room (via nature-themed decals) and music.
An increasing number of cancer patients are eligible to receive immunotherapy. Efficacy and tolerance have been demonstrated in multicentre randomized clinical trials with positive results. However, real-life experience differs from clinical trial results, especially regarding the management of potential adverse events. HR-QoL (Health Related Quality of Life) is one of the components of QoL (Quality of Life) in its broad acceptation and is certainly the only one usually collected in trials while little is known about QoL in cancer patients treated in the 'real-world'. QUALITOP partners intend to bring together all relevant longitudinal information present in large heterogeneous data (big data) to estimate patient QoL and find surrogate markers of QoL and its evolution. Within the QUALITOP consortium, 5 countries will collect prospective clinical and QoL data and also retrospective clinical data, and share it. This project will enable collecting, managing, sharing, modelling, processing, and exploiting big data on QoL. Furthermore, beyond the description of QoL, analytical tools (including causal inference methods and machine learning) are needed to understand the determinants of QoL and their complex relationships with irAEs (immune related Adverse Events) in a big-data context where standard statistical techniques would be limited. Artificial intelligence and causal models may be applied and developed to empower the patient, prevent adverse medical conditions, and promote QoL. The created knowledge will enable proposing guidelines for promoting better QoL. QUALITOP aims at identifying the determinants of health status regarding immunotherapy-related adverse events (IR-AEs, such as toxicities) depending on the patient's profile in a real-world context. The richness of QUALITOP is in the diversity of the experts who will collaborate in it. Clinicians involved in the care (thus the health status of the patients) will collaborate with psychologists and sociologists to understand and integrate complementary dimensions of QoL related to immunotherapy. Experts in pharmacovigilance and pharmacists will investigate the IR-AEs and their associations with patient behaviour and non-drug consumption. Epidemiologists, data scientists (including bioinformaticians and biostatisticians) and economists will extract information from the data and develop simulation models to produce knowledge. The project will take place in close relation with patient associations that will interact with experts to design the analyses, interpret their results, and proceed to their dissemination. The main objective is to collect data of patients receiving immunotherapy in order to describe its impact in their quality of life. - Create the first real-life cohort of cancer patients treated with immunotherapy within a context of multidimensional management (with data on clinical information, health-related QoL (HR-QoL), IR-AEs, drug consumption, lifestyle, and administrative data). - Accelerate knowledge directed to different stakeholders (patients, relatives, clinicians, pharmacists, health authorities, and the general public) for a better understanding of the determinants of QoL and its optimization after immunotherapy through the development of innovative analytic tools (artificial intelligence and causal models). - Produce policies and recommendations to improve patients QoL and participate in the implementation of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) for 4P medicine (Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participative) in immunotherapy for cancer patients.
